That would be a bad thing.

Fluoride is a hardener, that comes from an industrial by-product.

For the same reason that you shouldn't swallow toothpaste with fluoride, you would want it to be injected.

It has been shown to cause hardening of the arteries and other problems.

Good to rinse your teeth with, but not really good for the rest of you.

Fluoride is not typically administered intravenously because of its potential toxic effects at high doses. In cases where fluoride is needed for medical treatment, it is usually given orally or topically. Intravenous injection of fluoride can lead to serious health complications, such as electrolyte imbalances and heart issues.
